We're starting explore the restaurants at yonge and sheppard now that my finance works there and thought i'd give this place a try. The food was not bad, tasty but I would probably not go back if I had a choice. Here is why:

Atmosphere/ Décor: 2
Meh... Nothing special, the place is not decorated at all, minimum effort. Reminds me of an old fast food restaurant.
Service: 2.5
Service was very mediocre. There were 2-3 girls working in the front and approximately 3-5 more tables of 2-4 people during our time there and food still took FOREVER to get to us. Water was quick, but everything else including side dishes took forever. Considering that it was not a very busy night and it still took a while, i can't imagine the service when it is busy.
Food: 3.5
The taste was alright. We ordered two orders of DakGalbee. Their min. was 2 orders which i found kind of stupid because i definitely wanted to try other things as well but didn't want too much food. When the food came, my finance's first reaction was is that one order or two? (I'm sure you can imagine the portion now) For the price of $12.50 for one order it was definitely not worth it. It only includes chicken and cabbage. We had added ramen and cheese($2 each) and even with those added, the dish was tiny. The side dishes was very mediocre- We had kimchi, potato (very good and creamy), radish and broccoli.
Overall:
The food was okay, not worth it though for the price we paid. We paid over $30 including tips and for what we had- it was not worth it. We haven't tried DakGalBee in Toronto yet but we ate quite a bit of it when we were in Korea and can't compare.
